A five-time world champion, Stephanie Gilmore slipped to fifth in the world rankings in 2013. Realizing she was out of the race halfway through the year, she mailed it in for the rest of the season, opting instead to focus on endeavors outside of surfing, like her love of music and fashion. With women like Carissa Moore, Tyler Wright and Sally Fitzgibbons on such a competitive tear recently, it's hard to determine how engaged Gilmore still is. No doubt she can contend, and she'll go all-in if she has a hint of a chance at a title, but her most dominant years may be behind her.
